Age and preparation
Years 4–6 / ages 9–12. Allow around 40 minutes. A4 paper, pencils and scissors; optional glue. Print at actual size.
Use the activity
The first page gives instructions. Print the second page on a single side of A4 in landscape at actual size, then fold and cut the marked centre slit. The book has eight numbered pages.
Accept spoken answers, pointing or a partner scribe when writing is a barrier. For a challenge, ask learners to explain the clue behind an answer. Colour never determines a factual answer.
Scope and accuracy
Examples show usual main responsibilities; governments can share funding and responsibility. In the ACT, the territory government also handles local services. Imaginary designs are clearly marked and do not describe Australia’s actual arrangements.
Factual sources
